WTF is up wit my college computer classes?

I'm in my 3rd year now and rarely have any of my computer related major classes have involved me actually fucking USING a computer. I'm serious, most of this is me having to listen to giant powerpoint hell... boring the shit out of me to the point where I'm desperate enough to be on 4chan on my laptop over wireless durring class.

You do know that there's a massive quantity of theory that goes behind the operation of computers?
